常見錯誤

❌The movie was very crowd-pleaser.
✅The movie was a real crowd-pleaser.
💡crowd-pleaser is a noun, not an adjective, so it needs an article and is modified by adjectives like 'real' or 'big', not by 'very'.
❌She is a crowd-pleasing.
✅She is a crowd-pleaser.
💡the noun form ends in -pleaser; -pleasing is the adjective.
